about
Beneficial Tomatoes was an American rock band, formed in Pleasantville, NY in 2004. The band consisted of Ben Scherer (guitar/vocals), Thom Lombardi (guitar/vocals), Tim Sosler (drums), and Sam Mintzer (bass). The band originated as a two-piece musical project between founding members Ben Scherer and Thom Lombardi. After several years of playing as a duo, they recruited Tim Sosler (2009) and Sam Mintzer (2010). They began to play local shows in Westchester and New York City and throughout the northeast. In 2010, they performed at the annual Pleasantville Music Festival, alongside such notable artists as Jakob Dylan, Rusted Root, The Bacon Brothers, and Carney. In 2011, they composed and recorded the original soundtrack for the motion picture "Alternate Arrangements," a Zack Bernstein short film. The film became an official selection at the National Film Festival for Talented Youth, Festival de Cannes: Short Film Corner, Los Angeles Film Festival, & Little Rock Film Festival. The group left behind its name in 2013 and expanded into Great Canopy, before releasing their debut full length in May of that same year.
